Apalm tree casts a shadow that is 7 m shorter than its height. the distance from the top of the tree to the tip of the shadow is 1 m longer than the tree itself. how tall is the palm tree?

12 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Take a look at the picture below.

If we call x the height of the tree, then the shadow which is 7 m shorter than its height would be "x - 7" and the distance from the top of the tree to the tip of the shadow would be "x + 1" (it is 1 m longer than the tree)

Thus, the only solution we have is x = 12 and the height of the palm tree is 12 m.

answer: -8.2562234e+13

y = 2x

step-by-step explanation:

if you divide each number in the sequence, you'll see that they all have a multiple factor of 2. each number in the series, and any other numbers which may continue, will be multiplied by 2. therefore, y is the next number in the sequence, and x is the current one, so, our formula will be y = 2x.
